Two others managed to escape temporarily, but thanks to a Nixle alert, a resident at the Webster Green condo complex spotted the youths and detained them until police arrived.Roy did not know the specific address in Manchester from which the truck was stolen, but she said it did not appear to be damaged.All four youths were charged with receiving stolen property and resisting arrest. One was charged with possession of marijuana, and the driver was charged with disobeying a police officer. She said the driver did not have a license.The cases will be handled in juvenile court.
